We are looking for ballet barre and centre class geared towards figure skaters to learn proper alignment, performance, projection, and technique. Unlike most studio settings, these athletes are highly focused on their sport and are interested in dance to further their own expertise in their sport. Contemporary ballet styles as well as traditional ballet techniques are welcome. Please send a résumé highlighting ballet teaching experience and any experience that serves participants who are not traditional dancers.

I’m a figurative fine art painter looking to hire female model(s) with a dance background for reference photographs. I’m working on a new series of figurative paintings that need to have some movement in them. This would be a shoot for reference photographs that I incorporate into surreal constructed photocollages to work from. There is no holding still and posting while I paint since I’m trying to capture movements/poses that can’t be held. This shoot will require some contemporary dance/improv skills- and I hope to have a bit of collaboration with a dancer during the process to develop some poses based on scenarios/emotions. Here is an example: http://bekkateerlink.com/?aa_piece=losing-gravity

Details:

Female models, all backgrounds
No nudity
2-3 hours at $40/hr, about $80-120 total, weekends preferred
Located at a professional artist studio (Vernon Street Studios, Somerville) but we could also shoot outdoors
